Busy week - Berlin beckons!

This week disappeared into thin air - although the ideas are flowing from the chosen subject matter.  It is a personal journey - backwards and thats sometimes hard to take and indeed admit.  Memories go deep and digging them out is in theory therapeutic, if we can face them.  All sorts of emotions crop up of course and in hindsight sometimes it makes us wonder why they lay dormant for so long.  Anyway, all will take its place in the work I am hoping to produce for the final assessment for this year.  There will be two or three significant installations - hopefully - and a performance piece.  When I can get some pics I will upload to reveal all.  I have also been looking at my work for a power-point presentation, which was not as difficult as I expected, and is now taking form, with regard to the exhibition at Wootton in October 2011.

                                   Happy memories - Cazzie helping set up my work

Berlin beckons us and we look forward to the experience with relish.  It will be a small party of us but we have a good relationship altold so it won`t be long now.  I have been reading a little of the art of Germany in the form of Alexandra Birken and Tobias Buche and an artist of my generation Sa Genzken.  All very contemporary in their practice.  I hope to see something to inspire my dissertation plan. 

Lightworks - activity table has been a concern of mine, and so on Friday when Jackie said she would gladly come on board I breathed a sigh, as the sourcing of materials along with another pair of hands relieved the pressure.  Jackie also has some ideas and we hope to be a real success this year, and will keep you all posted.  We hope to still make the lanterns as this was very popular.

Well thats it for now - fino a settimana prossimo - ciao!
